Being on the migratory path, Ripon's woods, parks and trails are natural locations to spot birds that are otherwise rarely seen in these parts. A checklist has been compiled that catagorizes 249 species that are regular to fairly common within 25 miles of Ripon. The list and companion Ripon Trails brochure are available at the Ripon Area Chamber of Commerce office, 214 Jefferson St, and the Little White Schoolhouse museum (seasonal), 303 Blackburn.
